A Hebrew name gently fading from the charts.
Janett is a girl's baby name of Hebrew origin, a variant spelling of Janet, a diminutive of Jane meaning 'God is gracious.' Janet peaked in the United States in the 1940s and 50s, carried by figures like Janet Leigh, Janet Jackson, and countless women of the post-war era.
With over 3,500 recorded births, Janett represents parents who love the vintage American warmth of Janet but want a spelling that feels slightly more distinctive on paper.
Janett was #4322 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #10589, but its charm endures.
